Noah Handbags Butterfly Clutch…I LOVE it!
Noah Handbags Trunk May 3, 2009 – May 10, 2009 at Artfulwears.com
So one day an email magically appeared in my inbox from Noah Handbags. Normally, I delete these emails but this one caught my eye because the bags are simply gorgeous. The brand has modern, clean lines, and is very fashion forward but still look timeless. I immediately picked the phone up to call the designer. The rest is history as they say. I had the privilege of trying out the Lasercut Butterfly Clutch. All the photos shown are various angles of the same bag both folded and unfolded in the Aranico (orange) and Bleu.
What I love? The Butterfly Clutch by Noah Handbags is striking! It has very clean lines yet packs a punch. I was torn by which color to choose because they all appealed to me in a different way. However, I went with the Aranico (Orange) because I felt like it really made a statement and would be hot for Summer. While this bag is made of entirely animal friendly materials, it gives the appearance of very polished patent leather. I also love the price. This looks like a VERY expensive designer bag and it’s only $175.00!
The Basics: This clutch is truly the perfect size (15.5″ W x 7.5″ H). You can actually put a reasonable amount of things in it without it looking stuffed or losing it shape. That is a quality I really adore in a bag. Not on that you can fold it over for the envelope style but you can also hold it by the handle and make it bigger. The inside is almost as fabulous as the outside. It has a pocket for a cell phone and another small pocket I used for lip gloss. Plus, an inside zipper pocket. Basically it has all the big bag features in a nice, compact, sleek design. For those of you who aren’t fans of orange (this of course boggles my mind), there are several great color choices. My other favorite is the Vetro, which is a pale celadon shade but I would equally love the Chocolate or the Bleu. I think the toughest decision is choosing a color. Made from a Italian PVC material, overlaying canvas and straw.
What I am wearing it with: On the Butterfly Clutch’s first excursion, I paired it with a very simple vanilla colored tee shirt dress that has a very earthy feel and some chocolate brown gladiator sandals. I was so enthralled with the bag that I wanted it to be the center of attention (it was). For it’s next journey, I paired it with a dark denim skirt and orange linen top. However, there are SOOO many more outfits I want to wear it with. Truth be told, I have a secret obsession with orange so there are many choices in many closet. But this looks great with denim as well as all earth tones: chocolate, khaki, ivory, olive. Bonus: This bag works just as well for day as it does for night.
About The Noah Handbags: Noah Handbags is a play on words for “No Animal Harmed”. Designer Joe Donza was confident in launching his new brand that you can in fact have beautiful, high-quality bags without sacrificing the well-being of animals. I would say he has achieved inarguable success! By blending classic silhouettes with modern day twists, bold colors and graphics, the Noah collection has set itself apart from it’s competition. In addition to being animal friendly, Noah is striving to be green as well. Noah is doing all of these things while maintaining moderate prices. The collection features cotton, Italian PVC, and hemp with many additional fibers on the horizon for Donza.
Who else loves them? Ok, I know this sounds repetitive but truly this bag has turned heads everywhere I go. I have been stopped left and right with people asking me where I found my bag. Plus, all my friends are chomping at the bit to get theirs.
